Nashville Celtics 13u team played up in the 14u division at Riverdale Hoops Classic April 9-11.  There were 16 teams in the division, and the Celtics finished 1st in pool play.  The Celtics won their quarterfinal game against the Music City Lakers and lost a close semifinal game to the Antioch Ballaz resulting in a third place finish.  Coach Duke remarked that the team had a strong defensive in a low scoring semifinal game but  couldn’t generate enough offense to pull out the victory.  Although the team wanted to win it all and could have, it was beneficial to play up and get some good competition that will better prepare the team for this weekend when they go to the Real Deal in The Rock in Little Rock, Arkansas.
